Samsung N130 and Samsung N140 Netbooks to be launched soon – Ho Hum!

Besides planning to launch their CULV-based Samsung X120 and X420, Samsung Russia has announced two new 10.1-inch netbooks: Samsung N130 and Samsung N140. It has ho-hum specs, nothing unusual or special:

• 10.1-inch display
• 1024 x 600 resolution
• Intel Atom N270 for N130 and Intel Atom N280 for N140
• Intel GMA 950 graphics
• 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM
• Draft-N WiFi
• 0.3MP Webcam
• 3 USB ports
• VGA output port
• 3-in-one Card reader

Look at the audacity of Samsung: Releasing a netbook with the Atom N270 processor in the Q4 of 2009! The N130, that has an Atom N270 processor and a pitiful 1.5W mono speaker comes with a 3-cell (2300 mAh) or 6-cell (4000mAh) battery. This is the same company that released the revolutionary Samsung NC10 netbook an year ago which sported a marvelous 6-7 hours of battery life.

The higher end Samsung N140 has an Atom N280 processor though. It also has Bluetooth 2.1, 3W stereo speakers and higher capacity 6-cell batteries (5200 or 5900 mAh). Gratifying, I must say. You can get one in white, black or dark blue color. Nothing is known about its pricing.

Netbook with Mac OS X! – The MiniBook

According to Apple, netbooks may be ‘crap’, but not for the millions of netbook lovers around the world! Here is the statement by Apple’s chief,

When I look at netbooks, I see cracked keyboards, terrible software, junky hardware, very small screens. It’s just not a good consumer experience and not something we would put the Mac brand on. It’s a segment we would not choose to play in.

A Russian company called RussianMac is now offering a netbook with OS X pre-installed! The netbooks looks exactly the same like ASUS EEE 1000H and they are calling it a “MiniBook”.
